–––– Dec 9–10, 2026 · Steinbrenner Field · Tampa, FL
The inaugural value-creation summit for travel baseball & softball.
Two days with the people building the future of the game — owners, partners, and industry leaders — capped by the Diamond Sports Foundation Fundraiser. This isn’t a conference you sit through. It’s a working room built the way you actually run your club.

–––– Mindset: Value Creation
The game has grown into a real industry. This Summit is where the people running it get sharper — together. We’re flipping the format. Less sitting through pitches, more walking out with ideas you can run on Monday. For clubs and vendors alike.
The Old Way
A conference you sit through
Vendors pitch from a stage. Owners nod. Everyone collects a tote bag and a stack of business cards, and nothing changes back home.
The Curve Way
A room that creates value
Operators and partners in the same room, trading what actually works. Every club and every vendor leaves with ideas — and relationships — worth more than the trip.
The Format
Everyone brings one idea
One thing you’ve actually done to create value — make money, cut cost, or win a family. You share yours, you walk out with everyone else’s. Real ideas from real operators, across every part of the business.
Tryouts
Camps
Testing
Sponsorship
Pricing
Clinics
Events
Training
–––– There Will Be Debates
No slides. No consultants. Just operators who’ve done it, arguing the calls that actually move a program’s bottom line.
Debate 04
Pricing
What is your program actually worth — and why is almost everyone in the room underpricing it?
Debate 03
Localized “Bolts” teams
Does a localized, affiliated feeder model grow the brand and the pipeline — or dilute what you’ve built?
Debate 02
Testing as a revenue engine
TrackMan, Rapsodo, Proteus — do you give the data away, or build a real business around it?
Debate 01
Making money from tryouts
Cost center or your most underused revenue day of the year? Two operators, two very different playbooks.
It will be dynamic — and nothing like you’ve experienced.
–––– The CURVE Awards
02
Fastest Grower — the program that bent its curve the hardest.
05
…and a few you won’t see coming.
04
Partner of the Year — the vendor who showed up like a true partner.
03
Best Comeback — the operator who turned a tough year around.
01
Biggest Revenue Idea — the single move that created the most value this year.
Bragging rights, owner to owner
Recognition that actually means something — handed out by the people who know exactly how hard it was to earn.
